 Western Loans That Are Secure. For the JOURNAL COURIER.
 Knowing that many persons will read your judicious and timely editorial on Western Farm Loans think it we'll to supplement it with a statement of facts that will give it additional interest and value. The chief point of the editorial is a warning against an over-valuation of property taken for the se- curity of the loan-in some cases loans, you say, of $100 are made on property of but $50, but appraised at $250. Of course this cannot be safe security, though generally it would be paid-my own rate is $100 of loan for $500 of property. The list shown is for loans actually on hand and it will be seen that the average is $27 of loan allowed for $1OO of security, besides insurance-and this explains the fact otherwise inexpl1cable that have sold so many loans through dozen years without farthing lost.

In compliance with act passed by the last General Assembly, I hereby designate Friday, the twenty ninth of April to be observed throughout the commonwealth as Arbor day: and recommend that the teachers in all the schools of the State order their instructions and exercises upon that day that every child may learn something of the value, at least of the beauty of tree cuture and may take personal interest in the plant of some tree or shrub in the school ground in the adja- cent commons
 earnestly ask every farmer, and especially every Agricultural association, to celebrate the day that the public appreciat on of the importance of forestry may be increased. trust that on this the first of Arbor days in Connecticut the standard of celebration may be set high as to ensure Q proper observance in the years to come, that at the close of single generation every village street and country road may be lined with trees which shall protect and beautify, and every hillside now barren may be covered by forest growth which shall add wealth to the State, saubrity to it's eli mate, and fertility to all the land within it's bor- ders.
 Given under my hand and seal of the { State, at the Capitol in Hartford this f1f- Ls Steenth day of April, In the year of our our ~- eighty seven and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and eleventh.

ANY issue of the election on prohibi-
ton not reached through an appeal to the
judgment of men will be but temporary
The question is here to be settled, and
the interests of Texas would seem to de-
maud that the issue be made permanent
settlement Of the question. This can
only be done by dispsssionate appeal to
men and by arguments addressed to
their reason. a result attained through
a hprrah canvass cannot last-on the
one hand, prohibition so accomplished
would be confronted with constant threat
of repeal; ard, on the other, anti-pro-
hioition would soon be called on to fight
another amendment. If the people, how
ever, reach a conclusion through argu-
ments addressed to their reason, if they
are now thoroughly convinced, the result
no matter what it may be-will be
maintained despite all agitation of those
who would undo it.
